Micah 4:12-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord,
nor understand his plan:
He has gathered them
like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter Zion;
your horn I will make iron
And your hoofs I will make bronze,
that you may crush many peoples;
You shall devote their spoils to the Lord,[a]
their riches to the Lord of the whole earth.(A)
Footnotes
- 4:13 Devote their spoils to the Lord: the fulfillment of the ancient ordinance of the holy war in which all plunder taken in the war was “put under the ban,” i.e., belonged to the Lord.
Micah 4:12-13
New International Version
12 But they do not know
the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,(A)
that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Rise and thresh,(B) Daughter Zion,
for I will give you horns of iron;
I will give you hooves of bronze,
and you will break to pieces many nations.”(C)
You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,(D)
their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
